This Week we learned how to use CSS which although we had the basic information was kind of hard to use however fun none the less, after planning around with what where my original colours I found that they just didn't work so I created a new colour scheme based using blues and greys which helped make my site look better in general. I also used the feed back that I got through the forum to make some changes to some spelling that I had over looked as well as changed my banner so that it wasn't pixelated when on my website.

This Week we are submitting our videos I have added the final edits onto it and added the final version of the song that the girls have given me. This has been a fun process for me as I have gotten to do a lot of stuff with my friends and brothers in creating this video.

This Week we have learned to use Photoshop to create a banner for our site, I found this to be a very enjoyable and almost relaxing task. I used both the colours and the font that I had collected from my previous tasks. I use the same character from my call to action graphic to keep continuity throughout the site and the video linking them together. I am also going camping this week where I will be collecting the last of my footage to add to my video which is almost complete.

This week we are learning how to use the editing software that we will use for our videos I am going with Final Cut Pro it is simple to use and gives the use a variety of options when editing, also during this week we have made a call to action graphic which we will use in our videos. Bellow is my call to action I have used a Anime characters face with a big smile, the reason why I am using an animated persons face rather than a real persons is because one it was simpler to edit into the graphic but two because the face radiates happiness and joy an real persons face can have many more layers which isn’t a bad thing however it would take aware from the meaning that I am attempting to create.

McCartney, K. (2018). 10 Viral YouTube Videos for Social Change. [online] Shareable. Available at: https://www.shareable.net/blog/10-viral-youtube-videos-for-social-change [Accessed 15 Feb. 2018].

This site contains 10 videos of social change, all of which are really important and look at social norms and how we can change and why we should.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Many a video campaign has relied on a celebrity narrating a heartfelt story over footage of a heartbreaking scene. (Think Sally Struthers asking you to sponsor a child in Africa.) But precious few change agents can get that kind of star power behind their cause. And if today's top social change videos are any indication, that may have gone out of style anyway.

What seems to matter most these days is a genuinely good story or idea. If a video is to go viral, it must resonate with a broad audience. If it does, then basic math kicks in, the multiplication happens, and the message spreads exponentially across the globe -- all because it struck a chord in such a powerful way that viewers just had to share it. Today, with the help of accessible video tools and social media, anyone with a powerful story or idea can reach the masses. This gives even smallest of causes a shot at a mainstream audience.

Here are 10 of my favorite YouTube videos creating social change.
1. The Story of Stuff Series
Annie Leonard launched the surprise viral hit "The Story of Stuff" back in 2007. It's amazing that a 20 minute educational video about the destructive materials economy caught on like wildfire (and help inspire Shareable). It has since spawned numerous follow-on videos about bottled water, cosmetics, cap and trade, and so on. The most recent entry, " The Story of Solutions," talks about the need for systemic social change, and what that actually looks like. Watch the whole series to get inspired about things you can do to change your life and world.
2. A Pep Talk from Kid President
With nearly 30 million views on his original " Pep Talk," Kid President has taken the world by storm with a simple request, "Create something that will make the world awesome." He's also big on team work and dancing.
3. I Forgot My Phone
Has our addiction to digital connectivity caused us to disconnect from our daily lives? That's the question posed in this video which has, so far, resonated with more than 25 million viewers.
4. Abercrombie & Fitch Get a Brand Readjustment
After the head of Abercrombie & Fitch made some derogatory comments about who should and shouldn't wear his clothing, one guy decided the #FitchTheHomeless by giving all of his A&F clothes to people living on the street. That's how a movement was born.
5. The Science of Happiness Series
Soul Pancake, the team behind Kid President, have a second entry to be proud of with "The Science of Happiness - An Experiment in Gratitude." It's such a simple idea, gratitude, but a very powerful one that changes the lives of both the giver and receiver. This is the piece that started a whole series. A similar notion is tested in Soul Pancake's "Street Compliments" video.
6. It Gets Better
The original "It Gets Better" video posted by Dan Savage and Terry Miller sparked a viral revolution that led to more than 50,000 video submissions and 50 million collective views. More importantly, the Trevor Project's suicide prevention hotline saw a 50 percent increase in phone calls which means that countless lives have been saved.
7. Take a Seat - Make a Friend?
A third pick from the good folks at Soul Pancake showcases interactions between strangers who take a seat in a ball pit and proceed to share stories from their lives prompted by questions written on the balls. Old and young, black and white, gay and straight... the walls quickly vanish as they search for a commonality between them.
8. The Scarecrow
"The Scarecrow" is really just a gussied up commercial for Chipotle, and a beautifully rendered one at that. However, the message about factory farming is powerfully conveyed. Yes, Chipotle is a fast food joint and, no, they aren't perfect; but they are making strides to humanize their supply chain.
9. Girls Going Wild
Capturing a real-world campaign on film gave this project a one-two punch, as it were. Watch to the end to get the message and see responses from onlookers.
10. First World Problems
What can seem like a big problem in the so called "first world' doesn't even come close to the day-to-day challenges faced by the billions who live in extreme poverty. This video highlights the stark contrast in very simple terms.

Healthdirect.gov.au. (2018). Mental health resources for young adults. [online] Available at: https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/young-adults-mental-health [Accessed 15 Feb. 2018].

This website’s article explains that mental health is your state of mind, and what resources there are for young people to help improve their mental state. Healthdirect states that a young person could do a number of things to improve their mental state such as talk to family and friends, eat and sleep well, exercise; and take time to relax.

Feeling stressed? Is something getting you down? Many young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 years struggle with mental health issues - about their home life, work or study, money or relationships.

If you're worried about your mental health, it's best not to ignore the problem. Like a physical illness, a mental health issue can be treated, and the sooner you get help, the better.

What is mental health and why is it important?

The term 'mental health' refers to your state of mind. If your mental health is fine, you tend to feel confident and are able to deal with life and its challenges. On the other hand, if your mental health is not so good, life can seem a lot harder than it should be.

Good mental health is important. This is not just so you can get through the day, but so you can build positive relationships with others, and enjoy and appreciate life.

Most people experience a mental health issue at some point in their life. But if things don't seem to get better, it could be a sign of a mental illness.

Mental illnesses, such as depression, anxiety, personality disorders and eating disorders, have a big impact on how you think, feel and behave, and can make it difficult to cope with day-to-day life.

Just like other illnesses, mental illnesses need to be managed or treated to get better. So, if you think you could have a mental health issue, maybe you should consider getting help (see 'Where to get help' below).

Young adults and common mental health issues

Mental health issues are common. For example, at some point you may:

If you're having a tough time with these, or any other issues, it doesn't necessarily mean your mental health is in danger. But it's worth talking to someone to get some advice.

If you find yourself thinking about self-harm or suicide, it's definitely time to get help - see 'Where to get help' below.

How can I improve my mental health and wellbeing?

There are lots of things you can do to get yourself into a better head space and improve your overall sense of wellbeing. Here are a few suggestions:

learn more about your issue, and what can be done about it

talk to your friends and family

eat well and get enough sleep

get some regular exercise

make time to relax and have some fun

if you're using drugs or alcohol, slow down.

Where to get help

If you need someone to talk to, or want to find out more, these organisations can help you:

You can also ask your doctor or a mental health professional for advice, either for yourself or if you are caring for a young adult with mental health issues.

I have being researching videos that convey a similar message to mine, although they are not presented the same way as how I wish to present my own video. I have also being looking into articles and studies about mental health in young people, and how our social interactions and experience have a significant impact on how we feel. I have being looking into academic and other articles that explore mental health in young people and path to help cope with them.
This Week we have been looking at the types of sound tracks we will use in our promotional video during this week I will be collecting some footage of the girls Sam and Shenoa who sing the song that will be the music in my promotional video. The song is about going out into the world and just going with the flow.
Attached is a link to listen to the song

Attention: - The young group of people having fun is designed to capture the target audience, making them think oh wow that looks like fun.

Interest: - The attention grab is also what will keep them hooked, it is to promote feelings of enjoyment, entertainment.

Desire- now although my site is focused on mental health, this video is to promote good feelings with friends. This creates a sense of desire and want.

Action: - This is not an organisation that would be asking for donations, in fact the action that is wanted is for people to go out and learn to enjoy their life by making good experiences with friends. The final line of "I guess we learned to enjoy life" is the call to action

Opens on a person sitting and a computer stressed and confused the camera slowly closes around the person till there it is black. Next scene is of a group of young people walking down to the main stage of a music festival; they begin to dance jumping around to the music. Stage lights pan over the screen to change from the music festival to a group camping talking hanging out, laughing and smiling, they get up and start walking to the beach. Jumping into the water swimming and mucking around. The scene changes as the person dives and comes out of the water, they are now at a snowfield snowboarding and skiing. They cameraperson falls into the snow and the scene changes to the group dinner together and talking. The screen fades to black and the words "I guess we learned to enjoy life" appear on the screen.

The Colour pallet I have chosen is designed to create a calm feeling to it, although my promotional video will have fun and vibrant feel to it, I want the website to be calm as the overarching theme of my website and the video is mental health and wellbeing in young people. These colours are calming and fresh with the intention to sooth the view into the site rather than slap them to gain attention with bold and bright colours.

-Being different to others is important, and allows you to stand out form the group, Typography allows you to sand out.

-The use of fonts allows you develop meaning and create memories, this is important as it helps the reader develop a better understanding of what the text is about.

The most important rule of fonts is simplicity, if a viewer is to caught up by the text they will not absorb the information, this is also relevant to the colour choice of the font make sure that the font and the background are contrasting colours so that they sand apart.

Triplex Cond Sans OT Reg: - is good for headings as it is easy to read but has a sense of style, it is important to note that it has a lot of rounding to it which has a calming affect.

Arial:- will be used for the body as it is simpler than the Triplex Cond Sans OT Reg, and is rounded giving a calming and easy read.

My target audience is young University students- specifically 18-23 year olds that have moved straight from high school into University, that feel pushed into a degree for the sake of it.

To get their attention I might have a video similar to coke adds with young people having a good time doing various activities from driving, snowboarding and beach things, finishing it off with the line I finally learned to enjoy it. I want my audience to feel a sense of enjoyment and then as we end the video a sense enthusiasm

My message is becoming more refined as the weeks are going by, I would say it is probably more directed to mental health than physical well being. So I might call the message: learning to enjoy life.
The target audience is young people probably just out of school university students. I think one of most regretted choices was not going out and traveling and learning to enjoy my life a bit more.

I have simplified the idea I discussed last week to be enjoying a healthy life, like I previously mentioned its not just about being fit and muscular, but also about mental health and traveling.

The mind map explores the key features of mental health, which are family, friends, travel, art (more specifically music) but also a number of other effects underneath that such as money, socialising and other. The map looks at both positives and negatives of these headings and sub headings, explaining that music impact the mind in a positive way when it is music that you as an individual like, however on the flip side of that if it is music you don't like you are put into a negative frame of mind.

Today I am looking at creating a draft of a treatment, which is basically a description of what will occur in my promotional video, now as I have mentioned before my theme or concept has been revised to be "learning to enjoy life" which will be predominately focused at young adults or University student.

Today I have started to edit the HTML of my website. I am finding it hard to figure out how HTML but I am getting there.

# data[].attributes.body
I have a main idea of which I already kind of know what i want to focus on, however i am aware it is basic but I think I can build on it in the future. I want my idea to be about living freely and actively but not just viewing active as like running and being fit but social and living in the moment, which i myself currently am trying to do. This will be a great way to encourage myself to do it as well as do an assignment. Best start recording.
